Not bad, a little too spicy and rich for me even with no cayenne. Next time I'll use a milder sausage or something a little less greasy. We added some mashed potatoes (courtesy of Bob Evans) to thicken it up and balance out the spice a little. we were a little short on "real" potatoes and only had red ones. Mashed definitely improved the flavor. We also added a bit of chicken stock just to finish some off that we had in the fridge. We'd make another batch if in the right mood. We had plenty left of this batch to freeze half of it for later.

My family loved this. My only advice is less Cayenne. I added 2tsps and it was still a bit much. We like heat and spice in our foods, but I'd definitely go down to 1 or 1 and a half teaspoons. Otherwise a great recipe! I also added carrots and celery, which was a lovely addition. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in a new, delicious meal.

The only changes i made was not using a food processor because mine broke and used whole milk instead of evaporated milk, then I used a hand mixer at the end to chop up some the the potatoes and thicken up the liquid. will make again, maybe adding some leftover mashed potatoes or instant potatoes

Very good soup. I used Turkey Sausage, skipped the parsley & added broccoli and it turned out great.

Made this as directed except combined with Direction #3 from Absolutely Ultimate potato Soup by Karena. I wasn't sure the original recipe was going to be a thick soup, so that is why I combined recipes. Turned out absolutely perfect!Used the frozen white onions instead of a red (didnt have ), and used jenny-o sweet italian turkey sausage. My husband added it to his "favorite recipes" list hanging on the fridge!!!!

absolutely delicious! I used half water half chicken broth when boling the potatoes. Other than using a white onion instead of red, I changed nothing else and it was perfect! my bf brought containers to the office ladies at work!

YUM!!! I only had hot italian sausage so used that. Not to spicy and everyone loved it. The only thing I'm going to change next time is cooking the sausage, DRAINING it and then adding the puree.

Made this and it came out OK, but broth was a bit to watery. Ended up adding a can of cream of mushroom to help boost the flavor. If I did it again would substitute 2 cups of beef stock for some of the water.

My family liked this. My husband likes spicier foods, so it was good for him, but it wasn't too spicy that my kids wouldn't eat it.

I just finished making this recipe and all I can say is wow! I made it "as is" except for cutting back on the cayenne a bit. It was a new twist on potato soup and the whole family raved. Thanks for a new staple in my house. Update: I found that putting some of the cooked potatoes in the blender and adding them to the soup made for a thicker base!
